This delay inspired the besieged with shch insolence, 'Oat their Commander:would nor leCeiyed . letter which was subsequently addressed to • him by the Duke of Abrantes. Ilis'Exceliency -e -solved upon a prompt cha,tisement of ,t terneiity. He ordered a part of the division Clause!, and the division Soligisac, to commence the operaticmpre paratory to the siege. • They were terminated with the utmost celerity. The moment the "Leavy.,artillery arrived' from Valladolid, a cannonade ,of 48 hours took plaee, when a praelicable breach was effeCted. .The who then sent a flag of truce to the General, . gave .them for answer, that he would order an as sault,- if they did not surrender within one hour. — The flag of truce returned, and at the expiration of the hour, no answer having come, his Excellency ordered a battalion of picked men to mount the breach, 'under the command of his Aide-de-Camp, Captain Lagrave. Our grenadiers and voltigeurs instantly advanced, and gained the top of the breach amidst the hottest fire. The besieged had, in the rear of the breach, pull ed down a house, the foundations of which formed an extensive foSse, which it was impossibi tO pass ; and night coining on, the storming party could not penetrate further. Our troops remained on the breach during the night of the 21st, and at four in the morning the attack was about to be resumed with fresh vigour, when the besieged, being alarm ed, sent two more flags of truce lathe General, who, consulting only his anxiety to save the lives of his brave soldiers, granted a capitulation ;, ac cording .to which, the garrison, amounting to, be tween 5 and 6000 men, . were to lay down their arms, and be marched prisoners to France.

The Court Gazette says, that several newspapers have affirmed, that the Empress of France had ob tained from her consort a remi,sion of the arrears of the contribution due by_Austria to France, but that,, among the very minute details , "which they give upon this subje&, one small circumstance is want ing, and that is—the 'truth.

There is some talk of a change in the Constitution of,that kinu ° dom.

An Opposition Paper 'has preferred a serious charge against Ministers for having avowed the in tention of renewing the Charter of a close Borough, which is on the point of expiring. The Borotigh al, lu'ded to is Maley n, and the, faCt is, that in conse quence of some, decisions in the Court of King's Bench, the Corporation of Malden lost the power.> -of perpetuating itself,. and the number of voters has been gradually diminisl*ing, until they do not now exceed sixty. The Charter has been or is about to be renewed, upon the principle of re establishing in their corporate rights all those who can make out that they would, by birth, marriage, or servitude, have been entitled to their freedom, if the Corpora tion had Continued to exercise its power of eleaing Members. This question will at once establish be tween 1000 and 1200 eleetors for the Borough. of Malden. The following are some farther extra Els from the Spanishand Portuguese Papers which arrived yes terday : BADAJOZ, MAY 4.—The Superior Junta at Cas tile has addressed the following to the soldiers of the enemy ; it has been circulated in the French lan guage : " Frenchmen, how long 'will you suffer a foreign Tyrant to abuse your docility and patience, how. long will you expose yourselves, 'shed your blood,- to insure still more slavery and satisfy the voracious and criminal ambition of an adventurer. It . is time that you 'should undeceive yourselves and recover from an'error fatal.-4o yourselves and to all Europe. • • " At the time when you fought for your liberty, your friends, your allies, your enenries•themselves applauded your triumphs, your cause was just and every where you had Admirers ; but now— what cause is it that you defend ? That of the most tyrannical despotism and the most' perfidious usur- . • pation. Against whom do you make war: ? Against a nation which has long been your ally, and which has Made for France the most generous sacrifices. What do you propose ; or rather wha t does the monster who rules over you . propose ? The debasement, the enslaving of this nation. And . what advantages do you expe& from so unjust—so wild a proje& ? Turn your eyes towards your coun try, enter into the bosoms of your families, hear the_ lamentations of your mothers, your wives, your brothers, „and your sons ! Look on those desolate widovis, those deserted orphans, those afili&ed mo thers and aged fathers, from whom despotism has torn the only support oltheir decrepitude —every where you will meet with mourning, misery, and despair. Ves, we repeat it, recover from your error, suffer. not yourselves to be blinded by a vain glory only useful to the tyrant who oppresses you. Be con vinced that_ every vi&ory, every conquest, is a link which adds to the chain in which you are bound by NAPOLEON. Remember you are Frenchmen, and cease to obey an adventurer, a Corsican. Abandon the standard of your oppressor, and enlist under the banners ofliberty. Come over to us; the Spariiards are not your enemies, they are only the enemies, of the usurper of a Crown disgraced by his brow. They make no war agaiiist the French, they only make war against the Corsican and his slaves, come then and, from us you shall receive the most generous hospitality, every one of you shall xeceive 1043 livres Tourools,„ besides the value of his arms and horses. Our Allies shall : give jou every kind of succour, and convey you inAheir vessels wherever you may wish to go.--(Badajoz..,piary, May 4.)
